God's Ingredients for Success (Exodus 5:1-6:27)

Impossible Situation (Exodus 5:1-21)

Immediate outcome is an inaccurate measure of God's work in a situation.

Response to circumstances reveals one's focus.

How are you letting your circumstances dictate your attitudes or reactions?

When have you been disappointed because things didn't turn out as you expected even though you were in God's will?

What lessons has God taught you that you would have missed had everything turned out as you wanted?

When all your efforts succeed, who do you tend to depend on?

Powerful God (Exodus 3:11-4:17)

God encourages those who honestly seek Him in prayer.

What questions and discouragements are you carrying that need to be brought to God in prayer?

How have you experienced God's peace through prayer, even when there was no immediate answer?

Who has God told you to go talk to that you know will not listen?  Are you going to go anyway?

Ordinary Men (Exodus 4:18-31)

God takes the ordinary and uses it extraordinarily.

What are you refusing to do for God because you think you're incapable?

How have you seen God do extraordinary things with simple willing people?

How do you need to start trusting in the power of God to work through you rather than the power of you to do something for God?
